It wasn’t an audition: Pat Cummins confirms Ashton Agar will be spin option for India Test series

Firstpost  

Sydney: Skipper Pat Cummins said he is confident Ashton Agar will tour India next month despite the left-arm spinner’s wicket-less performance in Sunday’s drawn third Sydney Test against South Africa.

WTC: India get big boost after SCG Test between AUS and SA ends in a draw But Cummins was supportive of Agar’s bowling and said it was in no way an audition for India and its lifeless pitches. Test great and prominent pundit Ricky Ponting said during the Sydney Test broadcast that he felt part-timers Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne showed more with the ball in the Sydney Cricket Ground draw than Agar.
